Ballad of Vitaly |
| In the German sky there once was a plane |
| It carried 71 children and their mothers to Spain |
| Well, this plane was sure somethin' |
| It was full of young Russians |
| Proudly to gander at topics discussin' |
| Now Pete the Swiss was doublin' shifts |
| Jugglin' the iron controlled by his lips |
| Not a minute too soon children fell to their doom |
| Struck dead in the air, orphan a father or two |
| He just laid in the alley |
| Now orphan Vitaly met a young girl, married her quickly |
| Was so damn in love that they had their two kids |
| Had a great job, construction in Spain |
| They were goin' to see Papa from Caucasus mountain range |
| Now that damn Swissman crashed them into a plane |
| I will find where he lives, speak to his face |
| With the blood in my eyes, he will see my pain |
| Many weeks passed, for fear of a suit |
| The airline said nothin', Vitaly turned blue |
| For the killin' they done, no apology made |
| Is it 'cause we are Russian you treat us this way? |
| Through a friend that he new Vitaly found Pete |
| He came to his doorstep expectin' to speak |
| But Pete blew him off, threw down the pictures Vi brought |
| Pictures of the 3 most important he lost |
| As the pictures fell down |
| Re-enacting the day |
| Vitaly’s eye blackened |
| No human remained |
| Well, so much can be said |
| For a man in his shoes |
| There’s no glamour in vengeance |
| There’s only this rule |
| That the lives that you lost |
| Can never come back |
| And the deed in return |
| Is worse than the act |
| Blinded by love and the pain of his loss |
| He could not remember the act of assault |
| He awoke in his room all covered in blood |
| The cops they’d come knockin', they knew what he’d done |
| The government leaned |
| Vitaly was free |
| They called him the hero, a man above kings |
| A shadow of man, they were praising his deed |
| He was alone, killed a father of 3 |
| No deed that he did could make him complete |
| It could have been different if only Pete said |
| I’m sorry for killin' the few joys you had |
| But now there’s nothin' for Vitaly to do |
| But step off a cliff or hang in the noose |
| Robbed of forgiveness that he could’ve gave |
| There’s no man left to save |
